Neil Cavuto Puts Lipstick on the Pig About China Drilling for Oil Off the Coast of Florida

One of the big lies that the GOP (as in Gargantuan Oil Party) has promulgated of late — in their effort to convince us to turn the entire geographic area of the United States over to the oil companies — is that China is stealing our oil and they're drilling off the coast of Cuba Florida. That's a lie. Background here, here, here, here, here and (I only have so much time) here.

Well guess what. Desperate is as desperate does. Neil Cavuto repeated that reputed lie again today (September 10, 2008) on his I'm-Gonna-Make-My-World-Your-World "premiere business news" show.

Here he is,

talking to Carroll Muffett, the CEO of Greenpeace: "But China's drilling oil off of our coast, and we can't do it."

Comment: The GOP and the MSM ("the folks" at Fox) have been lying to us for months about this drillin' thang but they're obsessing about a lipstick?
